Composite-Type 87-Rb Optical-Pumping Light Source for the Rubidium Frequency Standard

Abstract

This paper describes the experimental results and theoretical analysis of a newly devised compact light source for the Rubidium Frequency Standard (RFS). The light source is composed of a cylindrical Rb-87 lamp 10 mm diameter and a Rb-85 filter cell 3-7 mm long attached to the front flat face of the lamp. This composite-type device is operated in an oven at about 100-deg C. Thus a light source for Rb-87 hyperfine optical pumping less than 4 cm long by 3 cm diameter has been constructed.
